Hi everyone. Welcome to episode 60 of the Let's Talk Yoga podcast. I have one of our favorite guests back on the show today.

Judith Hansen Lasseter is back talking about her new book, Teaching Yoga with Intention. And if you've been a regular listener of the show, you've heard her previous two episodes already.

One was last year with her book Yoga Myths.

And a more recent one in February this year, we spoke about nonviolent communication.

She had authored another book with her husband and it was called What We Say Matters.

And we had an in-depth

conversation about why non-violent communication is so essential for yoga teachers. So this,

in many ways, this conversation is a follow-up of that. And her new book talks a lot about

how communication is so significant to a yoga teacher.

She talks about verbal communication as well as non-verbal communication and adjustments.

And it's really, it's such a significant aspect as in communication for yoga teachers.

So I was really glad that she wrote this book to give us

clarity. She talks about the different segments of the book, including a whole section on how to

become an educated yoga student, the student's responsibility, the teacher's responsibility and

accountability, the power dynamics. We get into a conversation about everything in her new book.

Another milestone that Judith celebrated earlier this summer was that she completed 50 years of

teaching yoga. And I kickstart the interview by asking her about her insights and her journey these past 50 years, I think it is

of such value when a yoga teacher like me gets to have this opportunity to talk to someone

who has done this for so long, a lifetime almost, and to hear their insights and their lessons

and their learnings. So it's truly precious.

Judith also offers a discount code for her new book.

I believe it's just released.
